Welcome to Lupus NewsLog
Lupus is an oddity among illnesses, with its colossal and curious collection of symptoms and because it carries components of so many other diseases. It’s always been mighty difficult to diagnose and treat but nowdays, it’s very interesting to researchers, for good reason.
As autoimmune disease rates escalate worldwide, accumulating scientific evidence links this phenomenon to our toxic terrain, our nutrition, lifestyles and many other environmental factors. An accurate understanding of lupus can lead to solutions for it and for other diseases.
Well known physician, medical maverick and healthcare advocate Bernie Siegel makes it clinically clear, "Who are the best teachers? The people who didn't die when they were supposed to." Then, class must be in session, folks, because - here we are. Nowdays, we lupies are living longer, stronger, more satisfying lives, because we’re activists for our own survival.
We oldies but goodies aren’t so rare anymore -
I’ve lived with lupus for over 50 years, proving we don't all die young and lovely. Everyday, more of us are digging in and kickin' up dust in Ol’ Wolfie’s face. Folks like us prove we can live well with lupus, when we learn to demystify and manage our illness.
Here at Lupus NewsLog and in issues of Butterfly NewsBytes, published at EverydayWarriors.com, we’re examining the complex environmental factors that can stimulate this disease. We’re investigating tools, tips and techniques that may improve our lives in body and mind and could contribute to remission.
In the pages here at Lupus NewsLog, you can read current news on medications, medical treatments, alternatives, supplements and our nutritional needs. Together, we’ll continue exploring the roles our work, lifestyles, medical support and relationships play in our well-being. We’ll broaden our options in conventional, alternative and integrative healthcare treatments. I hope you’ll join us.
